Arrow 8w7 in a Crx?

I wanna get a small, but good 8" sub for my crx. Something like the JL 8w7, in a sealed box .

Any thoughts on this lil thing ?

Pic of sub box I want.



What kinda Amp (mono?) and how much power should it have ?

Here's a pic of my crx btw:

I think you would be happy with this sub, just be sure to give it at least
300W RMS.

The DD 8" sub in a small slot port box delivers god awful amounts of bass and sounds amazing doing so, it is another sub to consider. www.ddaudio.com

Great sub, but it told me that it likes breathing room. Treat it to a ported box.

BTW, which eD sub did you have and why was it junk?
I'm currently running an 8" eD and I enjoy it.

Is that not the eD8 that you ran off a 750watt amp? I remember that - I believe at the time most people concluded the woofer was not at fault..
